Let’s not steal equity from our patients in the name of quality
Healthcare can be, we believe, the vanguard to lead us to a more just society but has much work to do. Quality improvement (QI) processes drive care delivery based on metrics and reporting requirements, but equity is not a commonly used QI measure, and the extent of inequitable care affecting patients is unclear at best. While quality metrics can provide benchmarks for healthcare based on published evidence, quality metric standards that do not c…
Pediatric severe TBI in South America
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding healthcare utilization during hospitalization for severe TBI across varied resource settings is crucial for informing improvements in clinical practice, patient outcomes, and for reducing TBI burden. We examined hospital services utilization among children with severe TBI in South America. This secondary analysis of data collected during …
Insights from Developing and Implementing a Novel School Community Collaborative Model to Promote School Safety
BACKGROUND: School Resource Officer (SRO) programs do not reduce school violence and increase school discipline. We describe the use of a culturally responsive framework to form a school community collaborative among students, parents, staff, administrators, and law enforcement to reform an SRO program, promote school safety, and reduce punitive measures. METHODS: Members of a participating school district, a local county, and a university collab…
Identifying Common Data Elements to Achieve Injury-related Health Equity Across the Lifespan
Background: Limited availability and poor quality of data in medical records and trauma registries impede progress to achieve injury-related health equity across the lifespan. Methods: We used a Nominal Group Technique (NGT) in-person workgroup and a national web-based Delphi process to identify common data elements (CDE) that should be collected. Results: The 12 participants in the NGT workgroup and 23 participants in the national Delphi process…
Disparities in Misclassification of Race and Ethnicity in Electronic Medical Records Among Patients with Traumatic Injury
Stop the Bleed Training for High School Students
BACKGROUND: Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading preventable cause of death after injury. Stop the Bleed (STB) is a bleeding control training with proposed expansion into schools. However, the attitudes of guardians, specifically those with past trauma/injury, towards expanding STB into schools are unknown. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey evaluated guardian attitudes towards STB training in high schools, and compared responses between guardians…
Community‐Engaged Approach to the Development and Implementation of a Student‐Centered Return to Learn Care Plan After Concussion
BACKGROUND: Current return to learn (RTL) after concussion guidelines lack specificity for individualized student care, limiting potential for adoption and implementation. We used a community-engaged research framework to develop and evaluate the implementation of a student-centered care plan that assists school personnel in facilitating RTL. METHODS: We used best-practice RTL guidelines and input from administrators and medical experts to iterat…
Race/Ethnicity and Informal Caregiver Burden After Traumatic Brain Injury
Background: Informal caregivers for persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) face a range of unique issues, and racial/ethnic group differences in caregiver challenges are poorly understood. We undertook a scoping study of peer-reviewed literature to assess the quantity and quality of available research describing differences by race/ethnicity in informal caregiving roles and burden. Methods: Using Arksey and O'Malley's framework and guided by t…
Too Little Information
Research on Injury Disparities
Background: Research on disparities in traumatic injury has not been well characterized, limiting understanding of gaps in research and development of successful interventions. We conducted a scoping review to identify and synthesize research on disparities in intentional and unintentional traumatic injuries. Methods: The review was guided by PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and CINAHL and systematic reviews…

The global burden of injury
BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Diseases (GBD), Injuries, and Risk Factors study used the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) to quantify the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors. This paper provides an overview of injury estimates from the 2013 update of GBD, with detailed information on incidence, mortality, DALYs and rates of change from 1990 to 2013 for 26 causes of injury, globally, by region and by country. METHODS: Injury morta…
Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks in 188 countries, 1990–2013
Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 301 acute and chronic diseases and injuries in 188 countries, 1990–2013
Health Care Costs 1 Year After Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury
Objectives. This study sought to estimate total health care costs for mild, moderate, and severe pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to compare individual- and population-level costs across levels of TBI severity. Methods. Using 2007 to 2010 MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters data, we estimated total quarterly health care costs 1 year after TBI among enrollees (aged Results. Mild TBI accounted for 96.6% of the 319 103 enrollees wi…
Global, regional, and national levels and causes of maternal mortality during 1990–2013
The need for ventilators in the developing world
he drive to breathe is a fundamental human and biologic behavior, regulated by a complex system of checks and balances in the body. When respiratory mechanics are deregulated by injury, infection, coma, or a host of other conditions, the biologic equilibrium shifts into a state of respiratory failure. When this occurs, mechanical ventilation can be a life saving therapy. While commonplace in developed countries, critical care is at its infancy in…

Disability-adjusted life years (Dalys) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990–2010
Incidence of Disability Among Children 12 Months After Traumatic Brain Injury
Objectives. We examined the burden of disability resulting from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) among children younger than 18 years. Methods. We derived our data from a cohort study of children residing in King County, Washington, who were treated in an emergency department for a TBI or for an arm injury during 2007–2008. Disabilities 12 months after injury were assessed according to need for specialized educational and community-based services …
